Chinese Hackers Infiltrate US Army Database, Compromise Safety Of Thousands Of Dams

Supposedly Chinese hackers have gained access to a confidential military database, gathering information about thousands of American dams, including their vulnerabilities. From January to April, an unauthorized individual traced back to China accessed the US Army Corps of Engineersâ€™ National Inventory of Dams, raising concerns over their safety. With such data, launching a cyberattack against the American powergrid appears feasible, and would cause considerable damage for the United States.
